Intake Leak ?
I have 95' LeSabre Vin L car. Is this car in danger of the usual intake leak problems of the Series II engines? It currently has 115,000 miles on it, is it ready to go at anytime?

VIN L cars are not affected by the notorious UIM problem with the L36s. You have the L27. However, the lower intake gaskets on the L27 will degrade over time. It'* not a bad idea to replace the lower intake gaskets as a one-time maintenance. And at the same time replace the upper intake gaskets.

In 95 didn't this car also get the S2 motor instead of S1 and wouldn't the vin be a K? Or did GM hold off on putting the K in it for a year or so?
